Community members who have experienced the death of a family member or friend are invited to register for the GriefShare program held at First Baptist Church.

This nondenominational program features Christ-centered, biblical teaching that focuses on grief topics associated with the death of a loved one. The DVD seminar features nationally respected grief experts and real-life stories of people, followed by a small group discussion about what was seen on the DVD.

Many grieving people find they are only beginning the work of healing when friends and family have returned to their daily life routines. Past participants have related how helpful the information and follow-up discussions were to them.

Your bereavement experience may be recent or not so recent. You will find encouragement, comfort, and help in grieving the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, other family member, or friend. No matter what the cause of your loved one’s death, this is an opportunity to be around people who understand what you are feeling. You will learn how to recognize the symptoms of being stuck in grief and that you do not need to live in bondage as a slave to certain emotions. You will learn valuable information about facing your new normal in life and renewing your hope for the future. Grief-related books/materials are made available for participants.

GriefShare will be held starting Sept. 19, 2019 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Munson Parlor at First Baptist Church, 915 South Eighth Avenue, Sterling (corner of South Eighth Avenue and Columbine). GriefShare is a 13-week course. Childcare is not available. To preregister or for questions, call Patty at (970) 520-4824 or First Baptist Church at (970) 522-9002. Registration will also be available at
the door. Cost for the workbook is $20 – scholarships are available.
